Fifth day of Lunar New Year. We began the day early. Woke up at 4.30 a.m. and did our morning walk in the compound. It was lovely and cool to do our exercise at that hour of the day and at the same time - prayer walk, communing with the Lord who love and serve.
Then back home we had our prayers and devotions, breakfast and at 7.00 a.m. we left with our friends to attend the usual Prayer meeting at Territorial Headquarters. What a great time we had praising and thanking God, interceding for others and asking the Lord to bless the Army, the Church and our nation. The hour passed very quickly.
"O the pure delight of a single hour, that before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer and with Thee my God, I commune as friend with friend." (Frances Crosby)
After the prayer meeting we then went to visit two elderly folk - a 93 year old and her daughter Joy of 70 plus. What a delight to meet again their nephew Raymond from Malacca. He used to be in Singapore, in fact studied in Singapore. As the day went on Esther an old friend came and joined us. We had a delightful morning of fellowship with old friends. What memories as we recalled the past. Except for Raymond, we have known these folk for more than half a century!
From there we took bus 74 to Dover Crescent to visit two handicapped ladies and spent the afternoon with them. Again it was an afternoon of beautiful fellowship, sharing the word and prayer.
It was pouring with rain and we knew it would be hard to get a taxi at that time. To my pleasant surprise, when I went downstairs, a taxi turned up to drop a passenger. I believe the Lord arranged for the taxi to come to the estate at the moment we needed it. The Lord watches over His own all the time. We shared this truth with the taxi driver who agreed with us.
A wet but not miserable day. It was a glorious day that God made. God is great, is good and gracious. Rain or shine, when we have the Lord with us, the day is a glorious day.
